The interior of the car is thick with smoke and tension. Harry, usually the picture of pious perfection, leans toward you, his green eyes clouded by a heavy sigh. “I don’t want to go in,” he whispers, the confession hanging in the air. “Everybody’s going to know.” His hand trembles slightly as he takes the cigarette you offer, bringing it to his lips with a familiarity that shocks him.

He stares at the flame, then at you, the weight of his transformed life pressing down on him before he turns to face the judgment of Sunday Mass.
